A complete Tarot contains 28 cards. However, the twenty-two major cards can form the whole structure. This is the reason why we use 22 cards to divine only. The major cards start from No.1 the Magician to the No.21 the World. It shows a stage of the fool’s trip, from the No. 0 the Fool (stands for beginning) to No. 22 the Word (stands for completion). The cards use the fool’s trip to symbolize the spirit trip for everybody from knowing the external world (Magician) and understanding the inner soul (High Priestess), parents (Emperor and Empress), school (Hierophant), love (Lovers), first trip alone (Chariot), conquering unyieldingness with softness (Strength), enjoying solitary (Hermit), experiencing change (Wheel of Fortune), analyzing problem to get perfect decision (Justice), understanding to sacrifice something for growing (Hanged Man), learning to let thing go (Death), adjustment and compromise (Temperance), conquering desire (Devil), experiencing hurried change (Tower) to ignite confidence (star), penetrating fake image (Moon), experiencing overall success (Sun), accepting inner summons (Judgement) and the final completion (World). |
